I know I don't have the right to ask you this, but I want to take Yugi on by myself. This was my fault from the beginning. I fell for Yugi's tricks and that hurt everyone. This is my only chance to make it right.

Angela: She wanted me to separate you from her and give you a body of your own, in order for you to personally fix things. Remember what you did to poor Hokma - or should I say, Benjamin? You filled his body with timekeeping devices and their 'voices' are driving him mad if he doesn't behave exactly like the robotic shell you put him in. Those kinds of things.
Martian Manhunter: Now, because of you, Mongul has the key that can unlock chaos — and I demand to know what you intend to do about it!
Superman: First, J'onn — I'm going to construct a protective bubble, and return my three friends to Earth!
Martian Manhunter: Is that all —?
Superman: That's just the beginning! Next, I intend hunt up some heavy duty super-help! And then, I'm going to take down Mongul, no matter where in the universe he may be hiding — and recover the Crystal Key... or die trying!

I'm sorry, Abu. I made a mess of everything; somehow I gotta go back and set things right.

We all make mistakes. What separates good and bad people is that the good ones recognize when they've hurt someone, and then try to make things right.

Steven: Pearl, where have you been?!
Pearl: Looking for Peridot... for a few days straight. Steven, I know might have... disappointed all of you. I know Garnet's very upset with me, but I'm going to prove to her that she can trust me again.
(Garnet enters the house)
Pearl: Oh, Garnet! I was just looking for Peridot!
Pearl: She's bound to be somewhere, right? Any new ideas?
Pearl: ...I'm sorry.

Boys, I don't know what to say except I'm so sorry for ever stepping foot on that rocket. I never meant to leave you, or miss your first steps, or potty-training... Wait, you are potty-trained, right? [Huey and Louie nod while Dewey makes a so-so gesture] What I'm trying to say is... for a decade, I fought every day to get back to this family and I will fight every day to be a part of it, if you'll have me?

"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound. They won't even admit the knife is there."
"The regret in my heart... It almost made me sick. Even now... After I told everyone of my sins... I can still feel them crawling on my back... [...] I saw what I was like in Hoshi’s eyes… The villain. But... I’m tired of being a villain... I want to be a hero! So... please... Let me help."
"Roxas and Naminé... If there is any reason that I still draw breath, it is to atone for what I did to them."
